Chapter 495
When Tang Baozhu was in modern times, she knew that the city's tourism industry was quite developed and the sea was very attractive.
"Brother Biao, our town should be quite close to the sea. Is there a road that goes directly to the sea? If there is a road, business should be better. If not, maybe the villages on both sides of the sea will have better business. After all, if it is too far, people will not want to waste time walking back and forth."
Speaking of this, Brother Biao sighed, "Ah, everyone knows that it's better to have a road now. It's a pity that I submitted the documents a long time ago, but it has not been approved, so the road has not been repaired yet. If it is repaired, my seafood wholesale business will be better."
Brother Biao's business is seafood wholesale business. People from inland areas may have never seen seafood, so the business has always been good. If the roads were easier to travel and the transportation was more convenient, then the business could be bigger.
Zhao Shengrui thought about it and decided that if his wife really wanted to live here in her old age, he would have to inquire about the road construction.
"Don't worry, I'll call back and ask. If there's no problem with the documents, I'll ask you to come here to inspect and build the road as soon as possible. The national economy is a bit difficult and we can't meet the road conditions all over the country at once. But if you're on the list, I can help ask someone to advance the order. I think the documents won't reach the central government. For a town like this, building a road can be approved by the province. I'll call you later and you'll know."
"If this is done, I will definitely treat Brother Zhao to another meal of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, as a token of gratitude from all of us in the town. With this news, the boss will definitely help make another jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so just wait and get the ingredients!"
Although Buddha Jumps Over the Wall's wish was fulfilled, he was still worried about Zhao Shengrui. He didn't know if anything would go wrong if he took the responsibility on himself.
Forget it, it’s not convenient to ask Brother Biao here, I’ll just ask him in the evening!
"Sister, the fruit in that 30-mu orchard is almost sold out now. If you come here to retire in the future, the orchard will be returned to you. Of course, if you don't come for the time being, it's okay for me to continue to look after it for you. It doesn't take much effort anyway."
"I haven't thanked you yet? You've been watching over me all this time. I told you that you could just keep the proceeds from the fruit sales, but who knew you'd be so serious? You've sent me all the money from every fruit sale. I don't know what to say."
"Sister, don't say that. Your housekeeper has helped me a lot. How can I charge you for it? It's already good enough that you didn't ask me to pay rent."
In that era, renting a warehouse would cost at least several dollars a month. This house is so big, and I have stored so many goods, which cost dozens of dollars. Only now that I have money, I built my own warehouse. My elder sister has been very generous, and I cannot ask for more.
Zhao Shengrui couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped them, "Stop thanking each other, we've been friends for decades, it's okay to help a little."
"Okay, then I won't thank you. It would be awkward if I kept thanking you."
Brother Biao was right. Even though the dishes looked like a lot, the two of them still finished them in the end. Tang Yue only ate three bowls of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and then nothing else.
This was because Zhao Shengrui saw that his wife loved it so much, so he gave her a bowl, so she ate three bowls.
Tang Yue felt that after eating such delicious food, it would be a torture for her to eat something else. Even though she knew she could ask the boss to make a jar of soup for her, she still felt it was a pity to think that she would have nothing to eat after finishing this jar.
But people can't be too greedy.
After eating and drinking, the three of them left the restaurant. "Brother Zhao, sister, why don't you come to my house to sleep tonight? Your room is not cleaned up. It should be a bit difficult to live a normal life, right?"
Zhao Shengrui quickly refused. It was always uncomfortable to live in someone else's house. "Don't bother my sister-in-law. I plan to go around and stay in a hotel. However, I still need your help to find out where there is a master of ancient building restoration. The house is so big, and it will take a long time to repair it. It will be repaired when we come back. I will bother you again. Come and take a look when you are free."
Brother Biao didn't mind that they didn't want to live in his house. As for the repair of the house, he did ask about it. "Okay, leave it to me. My old man should know. Although he is over 90 years old, he is still in good spirits and his ears and eyes are not deaf or blurry. I will go back and ask him."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"Why should we be so polite? Just tell me if you have anything to say. I'll go back and ask the old man. You guys can take a good look around. This place was very different before!"
After Brother Biao opened the shop, the couple strolled around the streets of the town. The dilapidated thatched houses and tiled houses in the past have now been turned into two-story buildings. All of them have shops on the ground floor and residences on the second floor.
"Brother Shengrui, there is no difference between here and before. The area in front of our house was also bustling. The street used to be so quiet."
When Zhao Shengrui heard his wife calling him Brother Shengrui again, he raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Why don't you call me Old Zhao now? I thought you were going to change your words."
"I'm embarrassed to call you brother. We're both over 60 years old. If we call each other so intimately, will people think we're old and stubborn?"
Tang Yue quickly explained that it didn't matter what they called each other when they were together, but it was a bit embarrassing to talk to someone around.
"Look at our looks. Will people think we are over 60? You are overthinking. When you go out, people will think you are in your 30s or 40s. Don't call me Lao Zhao anymore. It sounds so awkward."
After hearing Brother Shengrui all my life, I feel particularly lost when I suddenly hear Old Zhao. Even if I am in my seventies or eighties and about to be buried, I don't want to hear the name Old Zhao.
Seeing how serious Tang Yue's expression was, she knew that she really didn't like this title that much. It was just a title, and if she was happy, then it was fine.
"I'll listen to you. From now on I'll call you brother. As long as you don't feel embarrassed, then it's fine with me."
"Wife, don't worry, I'm thick-skinned, how could I be embarrassed? As long as you are not embarrassed to call it out, it's fine."
